It's a shame that password hashing isn't standardized.

There should be a standard password box in html in which you can just call a function to pull out a salted hash of a password. The attributes of the box could include options for password restrictions such as a minimum of 8 chars, etc.

The fact that developers still need to write custom hashing algorithms in javascript is kind of ridiculous .

edit: nevermind, I just realized this wouldn't work
